To be eligible for induction, a person must have been graduated from Wethersfield High School at least 10 years and, since graduating, displayed excellence in academics, service, leadership and/or character.

“We would like to honor individuals who received their education at Wethersfield and went on to achieve recognition in life,” said Supt. Shane Kazubowski. “He or she may or may not have been an ‘A’ student but went on to make a contribution in some way to society.”

The selection committee is not necessarily looking for the graduate who is most famous, or has the longest list of accomplishments, but who has demonstrated what can be accomplished with an education that began at Wethersfield High School.

Nomination forms for both graduates and staff are available at the unit office in the Blish Building during school hours, or online on the district website at www.geese230.com. The academic foundation site can be accessed by clicking on “Important Links.” The two-page form can be printed out, completed and turned in or completed and e-mailed to the unit office.

In order to be considered for induction, a person must be nominated by completion of a form submitted to the selection committee. Family, friends, former classmates, former students or the nominee themselves may submit a form.

Those nominated in the past and have not been inducted do not need to resubmit a form unless there is new information which should be brought to the attention of the selection committee which would be helpful in making their choices.

Nominations must be received by July 1. Selections for 2013 will be announced in August.

The Hall of Fame induction dinner will be held Saturday, Oct, 12 at The Kewanee Dunes.

A permanent display featuring photos, brief biographies and a streaming video of the 2012 WHS Academic Hall of Fame class is in the south trophy case of the main lobby of WHS during school hours.
